Beyond Our Walls: Community Life

M. Night Shyamalan produced a great movie in 2004, The Village. If you haven’t watched it, spoiler alert: A group of wealthy people purchased a large tract of land surrounded by woods and went off grid because of the evil of the modern world. They raised their families, raised animals, grew crops, made clothes, and lived in a secluded commune. To keep their children from leaving, they invented stories of monsters in the woods. No one ever left, and the children grew up never knowing that they were surrounded by an advanced society. Until a crisis occurred, and the truth came out.

Believers steward God’s gifts for the glory of Christ and the benefit of others! One of those gifts is our neighbors. Join me as we consider our community responsibilities in relation to our calling.
